When furniture reaches the end of its useful life, its story doesn’t end there. Martela Circulate takes care of recycling for you—responsibly,
efficiently, and transparently.
The service includes:
- planning and coordination of recycling
- pickup of furniture
- reuse, refurbishment, and potential material recycling
Furniture in good condition is directed toward reuse, items in need of refurbishment are given a new lease on life, and materials are reused whenever possible.
This way, you avoid waste disposal costs and reduce your environmental impact.
A smart way to care for the environment.
Because of stricter environmental regulations, recycling office furniture and learning environment furniture requires more and more time and expertise — and because of recycling fees, it is also surprisingly expensive. With our comprehensive services, recycling is handled responsibly and easily.
A comprehensive service ensures good results.
Martela takes care of the planning and coordination of recycling, the pickup of furniture and other agreed-upon movable items for recycling, and all necessary recycling procedures, including recycling reporting. We handle all tasks related to office furniture recycling according to the agreed-upon schedule, giving our customers complete peace of mind.
Life-cycle thinking from the very beginning
We take recyclability into account right from the technical design stage.
Our system, which complies with the ISO 14001 environmental standard, aims to minimize the environmental impact of our furniture. Recyclability is already incorporated into new product development projects, and in line with life cycle thinking, we strive to design products to be as durable as possible. We favor renewable materials and take recyclability into account in the technical structures of our products.
Martela Outlet gives furniture a new lease on life.
The furniture in the best condition is sold at our nearest Martela Outlet store in Finland. Furniture that can be refurbished, such as office chairs, is serviced and reupholstered.
Nearly all materials can be reused.
Furniture that is unsuitable for use as-is is disassembled, and the components are sorted into wood, metal, and plastic materials. The materials are utilized either as parts for used furniture, as recycled raw materials, or in energy production. Only a fraction of the materials end up in landfills.
